Gloves or mittens are the ones we look for when there is a dropped temperature out there in winter. The coverage of the hand makes a huge difference for the whole body. It is quite crucial to choose the correct gloves to avoid bad experiences of cracked skin, redness, or rashes. 

Types of winter gloves

Merino wool gloves: These liner gloves lock the body heat and keep the hands stay warm in cold temperatures. Look for the knit pattern at the back of the palm to give an extra edge to the glove. Touch-enabled merino wool gloves will allow touching the phone screen while wearing gloves.

These gloves are more useful for outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and snowboarding. It will keep moisture from getting in from the outside. A good pair of waterproof gloves will keep your hands from going numb in freezing weather and stop the cold air from entering the hands when it starts raining or snowing.
